Don was a caring person. He was my stepdad for many years and he always treated me like I was his daughter. ( even when I was a pain in the butt teenager) he helped me learn to drive, mow the grass and I always admired how he would get out and jump into projects even if he didn´t know how to do it, he would figure it out. He built a Hot tub/pool deck (among many other projects) because my mom (Debbie) loved to swim and hang out by the water and he loved to make his family happy. I remember we used to play a game in the car of guessing the singer to some classic rock songs, I loved doing that. He will always be remembered by me even though life happens and we grew apart. I hope to see him in Heaven when I get there. Love you Don.
